Neither FBI agents

chun li? she's interpol yo. they more hitech

 

[oneida]

I'll be there too to get pooped on in Xrd and Uniel.

Question to oneida or Toronto VF folks, how's the community for the game? Someone I know was interested in getting into the game.

Toronto VF scene is strongest in the west right now, then NYC or SoCal. Some strong players northwest too.
If you're anywhere else lemme know and I can tell you what players are nearby.

solid snake aged

 

[mbpm1]

Neither FBI agents

unless Chunners is a clone too

 

[QisTopTier]

Aging in SFV makes zero sense. Bison is older, Birdie looks kinda older, you can even say Ryu and Ken look a bit older as well, but Cammy looks like a little girl, somehow

Cammy looks older too.

 

[Numb]

idk if its just anime twitch. iutana had a pretty nsfw overlay of juri when he was streaming lol.

hit me up yo

Indeed.
Check your PMs

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Did you always get v-gauge from crush counters(3:12)?

It wasn't like that in the beta, but it's not new to this build either.

 

[Horseress]

Cammy looks older too.

I really can't see that, look at that

Look at other versions of her

 

[ViewtifulJC]

they animu'd her up for Japan since release, remember

 

[Rhapsody]

I wonder how focus tested the designs were in the older SFs. I feel like SFV's just playing it so "safe" with the designs? (despite all the complaints in the threads) I know people complained about Juri's design back in the day, but I was fine with it. I didn't want just traditional tae kwon do characters or something. That just sounds sort of boring.

 

[notworksafe]

pretty sure she just looks anime for that costume

 

[ViewtifulJC]

 

[QisTopTier]

That's just for that costume. Git gud

 

[Horseress]

Look at other versions of her

Looks older imo

 

[QisTopTier]

Looks older imo

LOL NOPE There are zero features there that say older

 

[mbpm1]

Zero issues

 

[notworksafe]

sf4 is ugly as shit goddamn

 

[mbpm1]

sf4 is ugly as shit goddamn

There are some pretty aspects

Like the range of Ken's Kara Throw

RIP Kara Throw from Ken

 

[QisTopTier]

sf4 is ugly as shit goddamn

SF5 looks just like SF4!

Spoiler

Kappa

 

[SamVimes]

SF IV looks much better in motion to be fair. That's true of SF V too.

 

[Numb]

Curious.
Any fighting game where all the colors and costumes are unlocked from the start during offline but when online you gotta unlock them like usual? Seems like a good choice.
Watching KI and a ton of shit seems locked.

 

[Lostconfused]

It looks fine for a 7 year old game.

 

[jerry1594]

Sf4 looks just as bad in motion. Pointless to complain about the graphics of a 7 y/o game though

 

[Horseress]

LOL NOPE There are zero features there that say older

I dissagre! we cool tho

SF IV looks much better in motion to be fair. That's true of SF V too.

Eh...just look at Gief walking back and forward in SFIV and in SFV. It looks so much better in V...

 

[SolarPowered]

The 360 and PS3 were beasts for their time. The technology was just fine and it showed in games like Marvel vs Capcom 3. Great tech will make great art sing. Great tech and weak artsyles... will give people an excuse to blame the tech lol.

 

[WarRock]

Did you always get v-gauge from crush counters(3:12)?

Twitter says it's something that got in before the Rashid build.

 

[Numb]

Indeed.
Like how the moves come out in 4 than 5.
Like Ryu's f.MP.

 

[Rhapsody]

Anyone have the stream for Smash 4 that TBH5?

Edit: nvm, got it http://www.twitch.tv/TourneyLocator

 

[SamVimes]

Eh...just look at Gief walking back and forward in SFIV and in SFV. It looks so much better in V...

I'm not saying SF V is not much better looking than SF IV, that would be absurd. I'm saying that both games look much better in motion than they do in screenshots.

 

[Pure_Phazon]

SFV Gief looks so good in motion, can't wait to see the inevitable mech-gief alt with steam coming off him and shit.

 

[Tizoc]

sf4 is ugly as shit goddamn

I still like it but I find that the models need better color and shading.

 

[BiggNife]

Xrd half way poll results. It's going to be hilarious if HOS actually wins this,

Japan why

16 friggin characters there and the least interesting one is winning

I want to watch this, but they have to use the previous patch. Might just watch the top 8 when it comes on.

 

[Beckx]

Skullgirls backers: the Indivisible prototype should be on your Humble Bundle page.

 

[Lostconfused]

Because people love Sol Cool Badguy.


I think it's hilarious that almost nobody voted for Kliff.

That somebody actually voted for Kliff.

It was something indeed.

FGC word of the week: asymmetry

http://gamasutra.com/blogs/KeithBurgun/20151001/255058/Asymmetry_in_Games.php

Sirlin really went in on that original blog post. Fighting game players always so aggressive.

Here's where people tend to make a big mistake, which is to think that this is an "interesting decision". But interesting decisions in strategy games are decisions between two strategies, or tactics, not deciding between a strategy and some external thing, such as, "would it be fun to do that?"

In my view, it is absolutely a designer's job to ensure that players are never put in that position. The "strong thing" should always be the "fun thing". Most players already accept this concept when it comes to in-game interactions.

Dude desperately needs to study some Emotional Design, ugh. Does he think that Castle Crashers character selection is similar to Dodonpachi ship and power up selection too? That when someone plays a MMO he should be forced to play in all roles too, otherwise the developers efforts are wasted into people not "playing 100% of the game"?

Gimme a break.

(Sirlin was on point with his comment on the original article too)

Now I'm curious. Pm?

Done.
I actually posted that somewhere else on Gaf but it won't fly here.

B-b-but people that actually play the game don't play Bridget.

I was indeed unprepared

there's some real weird juri art out there. i found this out when i was making a juri-themed arcade stick

As long as you had fun.

(Sirlin was on point with his comment on the original article too)

Depends on how Sirlin's original statement on the podcast was worded. The comment sections already contain fitting rebuttals though so it's not a big deal.

The original blog poster though is looking at game design from a somewhat narrow "pure game" point of view which is why a lot of board games are being used as examples. Where a lot of elements that video games lean on get abstracted out. Not sure about MMOs though, I don't think they fit within the scope of his argument.
